Is This How It Feels Like In Hong Kong?
12:38 PM
I've heard people bragging
about Hong Kong Cafe so many times. They always said it was yummy, it
was nice and it was worthed. So when I heard Hong Kong Cafe finally
opened in Gandaria City, I put it on top of my must try list.
I had a late lunch here with my cousin last Monday. It was a small but
cozy looking restaurant, by "cozy looking" I mean their interior was so
pleasant yet their location was not. Located right next to the exit door
and literally side by side with Ta Wan restaurant made it so noisy and
so rowdy, ruining the cozy ambiance.
The weird yet fun thing about this restaurant was we write our own order
in a small paper they gave to us. It was different than any other
restaurant in a big mall like Gandaria City. To me this is a brilliant
way. So when the customer complaint about the wrong order, we can show
them that they wrote their own order and get away with it.
We ordered a Chicken Chop Pumpkin Sauce Baked Rice, Curry Chicken Chop
Nissin Ramen, Fried Prawn Dumpling with Mayonaisse, Steamed Chicken
& Prawn Dumpling and some drinks of our own liking. We heard that
they are famous for their baked rice and their noodle.
I'm super duper in love with the curry ramen! The curry was so delicious
and super yummy all the way to the last slurp. Eventhough I was
skeptical about the taste since the presentation was way too different
from the picture given (read: hideous), the taste turned out to be the
slurpiest curry I've ever tasted. Oh by the way please note that I'm
just talking about the curry here because the noodle ... well it was
just an ordinary noodle to me. For the baked rice, I forgot to try it
since it was my cousins order.
The dumplings was nice too. Both of the steam and the fried dumplings
were yummy till the last bite. I love the mayonaise that comes with the
fried prawn dumpling. It was different, I never taste that kind of
mayonaise before and make me wonder what does this mayo made of?
Overall I like Hong Kong Cafe for their good food at good price. I think
is the kind of place to have a long talk with a group of friends or
just simply your own me time, eventhough it was kinda noisy. Will I come
back for more? Definitely. I need to try their baked rice sooner.
